In Their Words
What Founders and Principals Say.
"Conner owned the financial narrative, managed investor relationships, and kept the entire fundraising process together under real pressure. He didn't just present numbers — he understood them, defended them, and built trust with capital partners in the room. That level of credibility is rare at any stage of a company."
"I am continually impressed by Conner Boillat's wealth of knowledge and experience in an industry that normally requires 40–60 years of experience to have a clue about what they are doing. I've personally witnessed Conner as a self-starter, a hard worker, and believe he holds the keys to becoming an indispensable CFO of any company that plans to catapult into the future. I believe in Conner."
Pamela CournoyerFormer Client
"Conner is one of the brightest and most diligent people I have ever employed. He operates independently and as a senior team member. I always knew when Conner did anything it would be done right and with integrity."
Lori Van DusenFounder and CEO, LVW Advisors | WSJ Best-Selling Author
"His commitment to excellence and consistent dedication to giving 100%+ in everything he tackles is truly admirable. Conner's individual work product is second to none. I am confident that he will prove to be an invaluable asset to all future teams of which he is a part."
Kim Pugliese, MBACEO, KimSulting LLC
"Conner has been a key asset to RISE Nutrition as one of our go-to advisors for financial insight and guidance. His financial expertise has contributed to stability, growth, and scaling across all areas of our business."
Kristan PapirioCo-Founder, RISE Nutrition
What This Looks Like in Practice.
"The balance sheet and the sales pipeline are not separate conversations."
Most profitable year in company history. That is what happens when operations and revenue stop running in separate lanes.
If the business is ready to scale, the conversation starts here.
The Operator
Over a Decade at the Intersection of Capital, Operations, and Growth.
Before the fractional model. Before the advisory. Before Perissos.
A career built at the intersection of hard decisions and operational excellence.
CFP® Professional. Operator. Strategist. Conner Boillat has built a 12-year career across institutional financial research, private wealth management, startup finance, and operational leadership. He has founded businesses, served on advisory boards, and sat at the table where every decision carries a real cost. The balance sheet and the sales pipeline are not separate conversations. That conviction drives every engagement.
The Path Here.
Bloomberg L.P.
One of four North American analysts in the Bloomberg Dividend Valuation and Design program. That role demanded rigor, pattern recognition, and the discipline to do the work nobody else was willing to do.
LVW Advisors
High net worth and ultra high net worth private wealth management. Mentored directly by a nationally recognized Chief Investment Officer. That experience built a framework for thinking about capital at scale that most operators never develop.
MONARC Holdings
Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer. MONARC is a dual-use holding company built across three ventures: DARKMATTER (advanced material science), PHALANX1 (defense-adjacent software), and EXERYS Ventures (an early stage incubator with a UAS and drone platform). Led financial architecture and capital strategy through Seed and Series A fundraising. Learned what it means to carry a company through the valley of death and come out operating on the other side.
The Sales Collective
Chief Operating and Financial Officer. Built and managed the operational and financial infrastructure behind one of the fastest growing sales enablement firms in the country. Drove the company to its most profitable year on record in 2025. Doubled headcount. Strengthened financial health metrics across every part of the business. Gained deep working knowledge of sales team structure, go-to-market execution, and revenue operations alongside the operational work.
Rise Nutrition
Advisory Board Member since 2019. Rise Nutrition operates across two global entities, US-based and UK-based. Ongoing counsel spans capital raising strategy, financial operations, and organizational infrastructure across both. A high growth consumer wellness brand navigating the complexity that comes with international scale.
Perissos
The pattern across every role was the same. Founders who could build could not always run. Companies with great products struggled with great operations. Founder-led everything is not a strategy. It is a ceiling. Hiring more salespeople does not fix a broken operating layer. The gap between vision and execution was costing people everything.
Perissos exists to close that gap.
How Conner Thinks.
"Most fractional executives arrive with advice. Almost none arrive with a plan they are willing to own."
Operational and financial discipline is not a constraint on growth. It is the condition for it. Most fractional executives advise. Perissos executes.
The Name
Perissos
Exceeding what is expected. Abundantly more.
The word comes from John 10:10. "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The Greek word behind "to the full" is perissos. It means going beyond what is expected or required. Not a passive word. An active posture toward life.
In my early twenties, that verse stopped me. Raised in a faith tradition that took scripture seriously, that verse had been read to me before. At some point in my twenties, something in it landed differently. It was not permission to want more. It was an invitation to live without the ceiling.
The name of this practice is not accidental. It is a declaration.
What to Expect.
Embedded. Accountable. Measurable.
Perissos does not produce a document and disappear. Every engagement is embedded. That means showing up inside the business, working alongside the team, owning outcomes, and being accountable for results the same way a full time hire would be. The relationship is with the business, not just the founder.
Sector agnostic. Comfortable with complexity.
The engagement is structured, the communication is direct, and the output is measurable.

What We Do
Three Service Tracks. One Operating Principle.
Over and above is not a tagline. It is a standard.
Consulting
Fractional COO and CFO Execution.
Who It Is For
Founder led businesses that have reached the ceiling of what one person can manage. Small businesses building out their first real leadership team. Companies in transition navigating a leadership gap, a growth inflection, or an operational rebuild. Revenue is real. Complexity is compounding. The operator gap is costing time, money, or both.
What This Covers
Outsourced operational execution across finance, operations, systems, and team infrastructure
Financial architecture that gives leadership visibility and investors confidence
Operating model design that removes the founder as the operational bottleneck
Cash flow management and forecasting tied to real business decisions
Accountability frameworks that scale with headcount
Vendor and partner negotiations without internal bandwidth drain
Fundraising readiness built from the inside out
What This Is Not: Advisory without accountability. Perissos embeds inside the business and owns the outcomes.
Engagement Structure: Monthly retainer, day rate, or hourly. Format matched to scope at kickoff. Reviewed quarterly.
Coaching
Founder Advisory and Strategic Mentorship.
Who It Is For
Founders navigating the decisions that do not fit neatly into a board agenda. The moments that require someone who has been there, has no stake in the outcome, and will tell the truth.
What This Covers
One on one strategic advisory at monthly or biweekly cadence
Advisory board formation and governance
Major decision framing: hiring, fundraising, pivots, exits
Accountability structure and goal architecture
Who This Is For
Founders who have stopped asking for permission and started asking for clarity.
SMB + Intrapreneur Track
Who This Is For
The solopreneur, small business owner, or corporate operator building something real without the resources of a fully staffed leadership team. Structured advisory designed for where you are today, not where a venture-backed company would be. Accessible, direct, and built for momentum.
Engagement Options: Monthly, bi-weekly, or intensive sprint. Format matched to your stage and pace at kickoff.
Fitness
Executive Performance Coaching.
Who It Is For
Leaders who understand that physical performance and operational performance are the same conversation.
What This Covers
Personalized training program design
Nutrition and recovery frameworks built around a demanding schedule
Habit architecture for high output individuals
Accountability check-ins and progress tracking
The Premise
The discipline required to perform at the highest level professionally does not stop when the meeting ends. Perissos builds the full picture.
Giving Back
The standard does not stop at the business.
A portion of every Perissos engagement is directed toward philanthropic investment. The conviction behind this practice is simple: a life lived to the full is one that gives generously. That means investing in communities, causes, and individuals who are working toward something greater than themselves. Perissos operates at the intersection of faith, discipline, and service. The giving is part of the model.

The first conversation will clarify everything.
How We Engage
Structured from Day One.
Every Perissos engagement follows five stages. No onboarding fog. No momentum lost in the transition. Clarity and execution from day one.
01
Discovery
A Single Conversation.
One call to understand the business, the founder, the team, and the gaps. No commitment required. The goal is clarity, not a pitch.
Duration: 45 to 60 minutes
Format: Video call
02
Scoping
Custom Every Time.
Based on Discovery, Perissos defines the engagement parameters. Scope, cadence, deliverables, and success metrics are set before anything starts. Nothing is templated.
Duration: Three to five business days
Output: Engagement proposal
03
Insertion
Active Orientation.
Perissos enters the business. This is not a handoff phase. Meeting the team, auditing the systems, identifying the highest leverage starting points. The first thirty days build the foundation for everything that follows.
Duration: First 30 days of engagement
Output: Operational audit and priority stack
04
Execution
Ownership, Not Oversight.
The scope becomes a reality. Perissos owns the outcomes within its boundaries. Check-ins run weekly with the founder and the relevant team. Monthly reporting keeps everyone aligned. No disappearing acts between meetings.
Duration: Active engagement period
Cadence: Weekly internal, monthly reporting
05
Iteration
The Engagement Evolves.
What the business needed at month three is rarely what it needs at month twelve. Scope is reviewed quarterly and adjusted to match the current state of the business.
Duration: Ongoing
Output: Quarterly scope review

Thought Leadership
Operations | April 2026
The Job Your COO Should Be Doing (And Why You Are Doing It Instead)
You built the business. You know how everything works. You are the only one who knows the answers when things break, which means things break constantly because everyone is waiting on you.
This is not a leadership problem. It is a structural problem. The fix is not a mindset shift. It is an architectural one.
The role of a COO — whether fractional or full-time — is to take the knowledge in your head and make it operational in the business. Not to execute it for you. To build the systems and the team that execute it without you. The distinction matters because most founders who feel like they need a COO actually need something more specific: they need the operational layer to exist.
Here is what that layer looks like when it is missing. Decisions cannot happen without you. Handoffs break down between departments. Hiring feels expensive but the output does not scale with headcount. Your calendar is full of problems that should have never reached you. The business requires your presence to function, not just your direction.
Here is what it looks like when it is in place. Your team knows what a good decision looks like. They make it. They document it. They bring you the ones that actually need you. Processes run without a daily champion. Accountability exists at the layer below you.
Most founders resist building this layer because it feels like relinquishing control. It is the opposite. You relinquish chaos. You gain leverage.
The COO function is not a personality or a title. It is a set of systems, rhythms, and decision rights that allow the business to operate at scale. Meeting cadences. Hiring frameworks. Performance expectations. Reporting structures. Financial accountability at the department level. These are not bureaucratic overhead. They are the scaffolding that lets the business grow without requiring the founder to be everywhere at once.
When I engage with a founder-led business, the first thing I look for is where decisions are getting stuck. That is always where the bottleneck lives. Most of the time, it is not a bad decision maker. It is no decision framework.
Build the framework first. The freedom follows.
